teleportation

Post by caveman »

I am unable to teleport to tons of places that I was able to in t2a. Is this a server or client issue? If it is client, is there a patch I shouldn't go to?

There are some differences in the way Line Of Sight works here vs OSI shards, you may find that you can get to some places you couldn't get to on OSI, and vice versa

This is something we may be able to fix in the future, but it will be pretty hard to get this exactly right.

I was hoping to get into the star field that surrounds the star chamber. There was 1 or 2 tiles in there that runes could be marked. On OSI one could teleport right through the walls there just like in Hythloth level 1 by the teleporter. A couple other differences at the star chamber: there was no moongate at the time & you had to repeatedly click the flame to enter the chamber, which was sort of annoying.

how the hell do you actually get to the star chamber?
i never delved to far into dungeons on osi because i was noobish, but found it when i created shards of my own a few years back. always wondered what it was/for.

Currently there is a moongate deep down inside the Terathan Keep in t2a. This is until we fix and implement the brazier that you're suppose to double click to access the star chamber.

I believe on the shard right now there is only a moongate so that you don't get stuck. Back on the OSI shards I don't believe there was anything in there. I can't remember if there was a way to get out or not, but there definitely was no moongate.

There was a moongate in era that took you only to brit, I can't say when it was put there, but I remember discovering the star room in late '99 and being pretty shocked to find myself back in Britain.

It is possible that it may have varied from shard to shard than. I don't recall a moongate being there on Baja.

You're right now that I think about it. They did put a moongate to Brit in there at some point in t2a. I used to check for the sheet music fairly often on chesapeake, because someone I knew got one there. I remember the moongate making it more convenient to check when it was added. Was late t2a but was within that period. I moved to siege with uor release and i know it was there prior to that.

Faust - I don't think you can get stuck in there. There is a tile in the chamber that will teleport you back into the keep.

aye, I don't recall getting stuck there either. I thought I remembered there being a way getting back down but not how or what let you get back down. I was possibly thinking a tile that teleported you, but I definitely don't remember a gate on Baja. However, the most time I visited Tera keep was during late '98 and early '99. So it is very well possible that I just never seen it late '99 if they added it on all shards. Does anyone else that didn't play Chessy recall a gate not being there? I'm a bit curious if it was shard basis. Derrick also played Chessy.

I also recall the moongate existing during early UOR before the use of the Star Room for the Publish 16 champion spawns. I recall reaching the brasier in the center of the room and furiously double clicking it for a few seconds before being teleported into the star room itself. Once there, I marked myself a rune in the stars themselves by teleporting down along the south wall into the stars. I ended up using the same method to teleport back up after marking the rune. Finally, I remember the moongate that promptly dropped you in Britain if you stepped on it. This moongate also operated in the same manner after the implementation of the moongate menu (as in it would drop you off in Britain without actually giving you a choice of where to go).
